Jodi Gill

Jodi Gill is the founder of Gide USA, a company that advises U.S. K-12 schools in international student program development. She has provided study-abroad advising to more than 1,000 students. Before the COVID-19 pandemic, she served as an International Student Administrator (PDSO) at George Fox University. Previous to that she served as Director of International Programs for K-12 schools in the Portland, Oregon area.

Notable projects include a partnership with Rev. Peter An that brought an energetic American team to Korea three times to run English camps, serving nearly 250 Korean children. In 2020, due to COVID-19 restrictions, she and Vision Classical Christian School leadership developed MEeT Online, a tutoring program connecting Korean students with American tutors weekly via video meetings.

That same year, she engaged with a community of adoptees and founded The Adoptee Group, a charity dedicated to supporting mental health care for adoptees. In 2021, she authored A Handbook to Korea: For Your Next Trip Back, a book for Korean adoptees planning their first trip back to Korea after relinquishment.

In 2026, Gide USA expanded to Europe under a new entity, Gide International, co-founded with Taco Wijbenga. The mission is to give students opportunities to study abroad in Europe.

In 2028, she plans to graduate from Handong International Law School and then pursue her legal career.
